WAR POSTERS ON EXHIBITION
THIS WEEK AT THE ACADEMY
A collection of French, English and
Belgian posters and war proclamations is
on exhibition this week at the Academy
of Fine Arts. The enlarged prints of
British naval “snapshots,” shown last
week, aroused so much interest that their
exhibition will continue.
The last two panels of Violet Oakley’s
mural paintings for the State House at
Harrisburg are on exhibition in the north
corridor. They will be removed later to
Harrisburg and placed in the Senate
Chamber, where they will be dedicated
by Governor Sproul.
